Who We Are:

We are a rapidly growing embodied AI company revolutionizing human labor. Leveraging cutting-edge robotics and advanced artificial intelligence, we develop transformative technologies that redefine how work is done across multiple industries—empowering businesses to streamline operations, boost productivity, and unlock new possibilities.

Overview:

As an Imitation Learning Researcher, you will work on developing and improving state-of-the-art imitation learning algorithms and methodologies. You’ll design experiments, create datasets, and develop models that enable systems to mimic human decision-making processes in real-world applications. This role involves close collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate findings into practical applications.

Your Responsibilities:

Design

  • Design and implement advanced imitation learning algorithms.

  • Develop, test, and deploy models in Python/C++/TensorRT/GGUF.

Optimize

  • Analyze and preprocess datasets for training models.

  • Conduct experiments to evaluate model performance and improve robustness.

  • Collaborate with other researchers and engineers to integrate solutions into larger systems.

Qualifications:

Education and Experience

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field.

Skills

  • Strong proficiency in Python and PyTorch.

  • Strong understanding of machine learning principles, particularly reinforcement, imitation learning, behaviour cloning, generative AI (e.g. Diffusion, Flow Matching, VAEs).

  • Familiarity with teleoperation, ROS2 framework and open-source platforms such as HuggingFace, Detectron2.

  • Strong ability to customize algorithm for different use-cases and multi-modality fusion.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

What We Offer:

  • Wellpass (gym membership)

  • Free meals at the workplace

  • Flexible working hours

  • Option to work from home when needed

  • A motivated team and an open corporate culture

  • Competitive compensation and excellent career development opportunities
